Kingsbridge Unidos, a mutual aid group, and Cash Cow NYC, a local clothing brand, will be helping Bronx families get Back-to-School ready and distributing fresh produce to them during a food drive on Friday, Aug. 12, at 5 p.m.

 

Jessica Altagracia Woolford, Kingsbridge Unidos founder and former candidate for State Assembly, Cash Cow NYC, and volunteers said they will be serving 500 families across the Northwest Bronx, as the event marks the third, annual Back-to-School event for Kingsbridge Unidos and its largest distribution to date.

 

Volunteers packed produce and school supplies in the morning at 3047 Kingsbridge Terrace at 10:15 a.m. and have since headed out to various locations around the community for distribution, including across Kingsbridge and Norwood. The organizers provided Norwood News with one confirmed time and location of a distribution site: 3111 Bainbridge Avenue at 5 p.m.

 

Jessica A. Woolford and Haramrijot Singh attended Head Start together in Marble Hill, and reconnected once Woolford launched her campaign for State Assembly. The two said they have partnered to give back to the communities that raised them in an effort to help provide relief to families struggling with the high cost of food and school supplies before the school year begins.
